The Disney Wordless Wednesday Blog Hop: June

Hi Disney photography fans. Welcome to the latest edition of the The Disney Wordless Wednesday Blog Hop here at Focused on the Magic.com where each week we gather to blog hop, link up and share our #DisneySide Wordless Wednesday or Almost Wordless Wednesday Disney related picture posts.

This week's theme is your "June Calendar Shot". If you were to make a calendar for the month of June which of your Disney photos would you use?

Do you believe it's June already? Time sure has been flying by. For this month's calendar I chose a picture that I took at midnight last May on my solo trip of the backside of Cinderella Castle in Walt Disney World. This spot for me is just so magical at night.

Would you like to link up your #DisneySide photos and hop with us? We have a theme each week that you can follow along with if you'd like and your links can be from your blog, Instagram, Flickr, Twitter, Tumblr or SmugMug. You get the idea. The Link-up is at the bottom of this post.

Time to link up your Wordless Wednesday photo...

McFarland USA Movie Review & Tamale Recipe

We received a copy of Disney’s McFarland, USA for review. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

McFarland , USA is available on Disney Blu-ray® Combo Pack, Disney Movies Anywhere, and Digital HD June 2nd.

In the tradition of Disney sports movies comes "McFarland, USA" based on a true story of underdogs triumphing over tremendous obstacles. This heartwarming drama follows novice runners who strive to build a cross-country team under Coach Jim White (Kevin Costner) in their predominantly Latino high school. Everyone has a lot to learn about each other, but when Coach realizes the boys' exceptional running ability, things change. Beyond their talent, it's the power of family, commitment to each other and work ethic that transform them into champions — helping them achieve their own American dream.

60 Days to 60 Years of Disneyland - 1958

Disneyland Park will soon be celebrating it's 60th Anniversary. Time sure has flown by in the Happiest Place on Earth!
My first introduction to the magic of Disneyland came through Walt Disney himself during the very successful ABC TV show "Disneyland". I was an instant fan as I watched Walt Disney describe with great enthusiasm and a little help from Tinkerbell his plans for the park. It was so exciting to see it all unfold before our eyes!

Disney Wordless Wednesday Blog Hop: Parades

This week's theme is "Parades".
The Disney Parks are well known for their spectacular parades! The 20th Anniversary Surprise Celebration Parade in The Magic Kingdom circa 1991 brings back some wonderful memories for me.
It was a blend of Mardi Gras and Carnival del Rio with giant balloons, characters, acrobats, jesters and stilt walkers dressed in festive costumes.
